Mixed-Linker Isoreticular Zn(II) Metal-Organic Frameworks as Bronsted Acid-Base Bifunctional Catalysts for Knoevenagel Condensation Reactions was written by Huang, Guo-Quan;Chen, Jun;Huang, Yong-Liang;Wu, Kun;Luo, Dong;Jin, Ji-Kang;Zheng, Ji;Xu, Shi-Hai;Lu, Weigang. And the article was included in Inorganic Chemistry in 2022.Application of 55490-87-4 This article mentions the following:

Multicomponent metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have received an increasing amount of attention due to their potential to produce new topologies, pore metrics, and functionalities compared to MOFs with a single metal cluster and one organic linker. Herein, five isoreticular Zn MOFs were obtained by mixing two types of linear ditopic linkers in a one-pot solvothermal synthesis. Interestingly, in the resulting Zn MOFs a six-connected cyclic trinuclear Zn(II) cluster and an eight-connected linear trinuclear Zn(II) cluster coexist, leading to an uncommon (6,8)-connected network. Catalytic activities toward the solvent-free Knoevenagel reactions were observed for all of these MOFs. Further exptl. and computational studies suggest that they are Bronsted acid-base bifunctional catalysts. Through chem. modifications of dicarboxylate ligands, including their aromatic backbones and substituents, we have successfully implemented reticular chem. for the modulations of pore sizes, surface areas, and catalytic performances in a series of four-component isoreticular MOFs. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2-(Anthracen-9-ylmethylene)malononitrile (cas: 55490-87-4Application of 55490-87-4).

And the article was included in RSC Advances in 2016.Reference of 10282-32-3 This article mentions the following:

Heterogeneous Co@NC catalysts were prepared, characterized and applied for the reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones with H2 gas. The Co catalyst Co@NC (800-2 h) was found to be active and selective for the reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones using H2 gas. Thus, general synthesis of secondary and tertiary amines was developed by the Co-catalyzed reductive amination with H2 gas, and various secondary and tertiary amines was obtained in high yields. Moreover, a practical synthesis of N-substituted isoindolinones was also presented by a one step process with the Co@NC (800-2 h) catalyst. The Co@NC (800-2 h) catalyst was reusable at least five times without evident loss of activity.

A one step general synthetic method for the synthesis of 6-aryl-5,6-dihydropyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-4,7(3H,8H)-dione derivatives was described. This methodol. is based on treating a 2-aryl-substituted acrylate with a 6-amino-4(3H)-pyrimidinone derivative in the presence of a base under microwave irradiation conditions. The resulting pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives present an aryl substituent at position C6, precisely the one directly related to the biol. activity of such heterocyclic compounds These protocols were extended to other 2-alkyl-substituted and 3-alkyl (or aryl)-substituted acrylate derivatives but with lower yields. The synthesis of the target compounds was achieved by a reaction of 2,6-diamino-4(3H)-pyrimidinone with α-(methylene)benzeneacetic acid Me ester derivatives (acrylate esters), α-methylene-1-naphthaleneacetic acid Me ester, 2-methyl-2-propenoic acid Me ester. 6-Amino-2-(methylthio)-4(3H)-pyrimidinone was also a suitable starting material.

And the article was included in Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis in 2015.Quality Control of 4-(Benzylamino)benzonitrile This article mentions the following:

A general synthetic protocol for the synthesis of simple phosphino-amine (PN) ligands is described with 19 ligands being isolated in good yields. High-throughput ligand screening uncovered the success of two of these ligands for aromatic amine alkylations via ruthenium-catalyzed hydrogen borrowing reactions. The combination of N,N’-bis(diphenylphosphino)-N,N’-dimethylpropylenediamine with a ruthenium(II) source and potassium hydroxide (15 mol%) is the optimal system for selective monobenzylations of aromatic amines (method A). Over 70% isolated yields have been achieved for the formation of 14 secondary aromatic amines under mild reaction conditions (120° and 1.05 equivalent of benzyl alc.). On the other hand, N,N-bis(diphenylphosphino)-isopropylamine was the ligand utilized for both selective monomethylation and monoethylation reactions of aromatic amines (method B). Here the alc. is charged as both the reaction medium and substrate and 9 examples are disclosed with all isolated yields exceeding 70%. These methods have been applied to the synthesis of important synthetic building blocks based on aminoferrocene.

A study of the relationship between the chemical structures and the fluorescence quantum yields of coumarins, quinoxalinones and benzoxazinones for the development of sensitive fluorescent derivatization reagents was written by Azuma, Kentaro;Suzuki, Sachiko;Uchiyama, Seiichi;Kajiro, Toshi;Santa, Tomofumi;Imai, Kazuhiro. And the article was included in Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences in 2003.Recommanded Product: 7-(Diethylamino)-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carbonitrile This article mentions the following:

To develop new fluorescent derivatization reagents, we investigated the relationship between the chem. structures and the fluorescence quantum yields (Φf) of coumarins, quinoxalinones and benzoxadinones. Forty-six compounds were synthesized and their fluorescence spectra were measured in n-hexane, Et acetate, methanol and water. The energy levels of these compounds were calculated by combination of the semi-empirical AM1 and INDO/S (CI = all) methods. The ΔE(Tn(n,π*), S1(π,π*)) (the energy gap between the Tn(n,π*) and S1(π,π*) states) values were well correlated with the Φf values, which enables us to predict the Φf values from their chem. structures. Based on this relationship, 3-phenyl-7-N-piperazinoquinoxalin-2(1H)-one (PQ-Pz) and 7-(3-(S)-aminopyrrolidin-1-yl)-3-phenylquinoxalin-2-(1H)-one (PQ-APy) were developed as fluorescent derivatization reagents for carboxylic acids. The derivatives of the carboxylic acids with PQ-Pz and PQ-APy showed large Φf values even in polar solvents, suggesting that these reagents are suitable for the microanal. of biol. important carboxylic acids by reversed phase HPLC.

Seven aromatic hydrocarbons bearing a dicyanovinyl unit were prepared to determine the relation between both the number of aromatic rings and location of acceptor substituent on their thermal and optoelectronic properties. Addnl., the d. functional theory calculations were performed. The obtained compounds showed temperatures of the beginning of thermal decomposition in the range of 137-289°, being above their resp. m.ps. found between 88 and 248°. They were electrochem. active and showed quasi-reversible reduction process, except for 2-(phen-1-yl)methylene malononitrile. Electrochem. estimated energy band gaps were below 3.0 eV, in the range of 2.10-2.50 eV. The absorption and emission spectra were recorded in CHCl3 and NMP and in solid state. All compounds strongly absorbed radiation with absorption maximum ranging from 307 to 454 nm ascribed to the intramol. charge transfer between the donor and acceptor units. The aromatic hydrocarbons were luminescent in all investigated media and exhibited higher photoluminescence quantum yields in the solid state due to the aggregation induced emission phenomena.

The [Cp*IrCl2]2-catalyzed alkylation of amines with alcs. was investigated using a combination of exptl. and theor. methods. A Hammett study involving a series of para-substituted benzyl alcs. resulted in a line with a neg. slope. This clearly documents that a pos. charge is built up in the transition state, which in combination with the measurement of a significant kinetic isotope effect determines hydride abstraction as being the selectivity-determining step under these conditions. A complementary Hammett study using para-substituted anilines was also carried out. Again, a line with a neg. slope was obtained suggesting that nucleophilic attack on the aldehyde is selectivity-determining A computational investigation of the entire catalytic cycle with full-sized ligands and substrates was performed using d. functional theory. The results suggest a catalytic cycle where the intermediate aldehyde stays coordinated to the iridium catalyst and reacts with the amine to give a hemiaminal which is also bound to the catalyst. Dehydration to the imine and reduction to the product amine also takes place without breaking the coordination to the catalyst. The fact that the entire catalytic cycle takes place with all the intermediates bound to the catalyst is important for the further development of this synthetic transformation.
